abstract="Structural equation modeling with three waves of data was used to assess a mediation model investigating the relationship between perceived social support, informal help-seeking intentions, and professional help-seeking intentions in the context of adolescent dating violence. The sample included 589 adolescents from a rural, southern county who participated in a longitudinal study of teen dating violence victimization and perpetration. <br><br>RESULTS suggest that informal help-seeking intentions are an important link between perceived social support and professional help-seeking intentions. <br><br>FINDINGS highlight the importance of informal help-seeking and informal help-giving in fostering professional help-seeking for adolescent victims and perpetrators of dating violence.<br><br>© The Author(s) 2016.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
